Make media player great again

Feature Requests

Hello everyone,

With media player (0.115) with only can choose a player but never the source.

Why not declare :

  • local media as source

  • spotify as source

  • home mini as player

  • chromecast as player

And be able in media player to choose a source AND a player. With that feature we could choose a spotify playlist and cast it to an chromecast natively.

I would add if possible to have an online radio too

I can choose source in media player entities - although that depends on the particular integration. For what integration are you not seeing a source?

Everything.
When you open NestMini you only have local source.
When you open spotify you have spotify source but not easily cast to nest mini.

The idea is to make “media player” as a real mediaplayer.
First step select the media from any configured source
Second step choose where to cast the media :slight_smile:

That is a chromecast device isn’t it? I think you have to use the media source integration Media source - Home Assistant

Or perhaps you could leverage the universal media player integration, it allows mixing and matching Universal media player - Home Assistant
